this was super helpful! But I was also wandering, how do you get a figure to seem more fluid and dynamic? mine always seem stiff or limp or just uncomfortable. I have no idea what i’m doing wrong. The figure looks good as a gesture drawing but when i start tightening up details it gets worse…

fluid and spontaneous lines. The more strokes you have the more stiff it will become.

Can you draw one with a tight shirt on? My daughter is trying to learn the muscle technique and she did a spiderman on her Bo and as you know spiderman has an elastic tight long sleeve costume on and hers came out looking more like rib cages.
